Dani Alves’ brother criticizes internet prankster for spreading fake suicide rumors.

Ney Alves, the brother of Dani Alves, has strongly condemned an internet prankster, Paulo Albuquerque, for spreading false rumors that the former footballer had taken his own life in prison.

The irresponsible post caused widespread panic among fans and media outlets before Albuquerque clarified that he was actually referring to his missing cousin, Danielzinho, who was later found unharmed.

Expressing his dismay during an Instagram Live session, Ney Alves denounced the cruel prank and questioned the motives behind wishing harm upon his brother, who is already serving a prison sentence for a crime he maintains he did not commit.

Ney highlighted the emotional toll on their family, especially their elderly parents, caused by such malicious actions.

Dani Alves’ press advisor mentioned the possibility of legal action against Albuquerque for his misleading posts. Alves, a former Barcelona player, received a four and a half-year prison sentence for a crime he denies.

Plans to appeal the conviction have been confirmed by his legal team, sparking widespread debate on the trial’s fairness and the severity of the sentence.
